I've been eyeing these hosts for a while. 14500 hosts are the oft-overlooked gems of China, and the Xeno line has some of the nicest around. They're not cheap, but justifiable given their remarkable attention to detail. Everything moves perfectly, and the tailcap actually uses square threading. Even the texturized knurling of the body is indented to accommodate your hand's natural grip. There is absolutely no way either host could slip from anyone's fingers

We knock China a lot, and in my mind, it isn't fair. If you're willing to spend some money, China can deliver on the quality front.
